After getting the control mount fabed and mounting the controls I found I'd lost power to the 3 Pt. hitch.. Found that I needed the Power Beyond installed on the controls. Now that it's done It works great (again)!

I replaced the FEL control with one from Northern Tool. It works great and has a float! The only problem is they only sell the control that you must mount vertically instead of horizontally like the original controls. The manufacturer makes a horizontal mount control but Northern doesn't sell...

I've been looking on this site and my manual to find the operating GPM and pressures for the FEL so I can replace the old non working FEL controls. Tried rebuilding the valve and it got worse within a n hour of operation. The bucket drifts down worse and the arms go up on their own if I don't...

I have the B1630 and it does not have the float capability. I am looking for another spool valve to replace the original since it is not working very well. I even rebuilt it and it only slightly got better, but the bucket still rolls downward especially with a load in it. Been looking for a...

Well, I rebuilt the controls and they worked a little better at first but now the arms want to raise to the top when I release the control handle. Me thinks it's time for new controls. I've seen on this forum where others have replaced these original controls with some from Northern Tool with...

Is there a how to thread or video on rebuilding the controls? I hate tearing into an area of the unknown! Just got lucky on the cylinder re-build.

Thank you Sir, I'll look around on the site for the post. It seems I did a search for this but came up with nothing. Hope the O ring rebuild kit comes with instructions. I saw no indication of where to put an O ring once I pulled the pistons. I felt their presence while pulling the piston! My...

Hey! First time posting here (I think). Been reading a lot of fine threads about repair & maint. Got a B7200HST with a B1630 loader and it has drifted ever since I bought it. Has 1600 hrs., runs great & does what I ask of it. It's just that the bucket won't stay tilted up without a constant...

I re-used the KUBOTA black sheath that has a threaded end for attaching to the fixed linkage on the engine. Took the old knob & shaft out of it and threaded in the new shaft with the new knob & wire. It was just a choke cable at the auto parts store. They came in 5' & 7'. Now I just need a...

Just one of the few things that I've repaired or replaced since buying the B7200. This little accesory is truly amazing! I first tried pulling it out upon reading about it in the manual and I really wanted to use it because the battery was getting low. I had to jump is a few times and trickle...

Ya, better the shop deal with it real soon. Sounds like a linkage adjustment thang. ..b

Here's a page from my WSM showing the left strainer on my B7200. I have one on the right as well. Be sure to drain the oil first :D .....b

Well, I gave up trying to sleuth out that leak. I'l drive it the way it is until I find some extra $$$ or get a job. At least I got 2 things accomplished today; tightened the steering and found I could adjust the controls of the loader so it doesn't fade. :D Cool, huh? ...b

I'm posting another pic of where the oil is coming from. The red area is the tunnel it flows out of. I can't get to it without separting the tranny from the bell house case or splitting the tractor (as far as I can see). The pump connects to the tranny and (I think) it is the culprit for the...

I leaned over on the right to watch what was happening when the knock occured. Thot that it might be the tph sliding too far but it wasn't. Started studying the hydraulic system in the WSM last night around 11... had to hit the sack before too long. Not very exciting reading! Are loader...
